probably broke down. Just call me greasy.
So, one step forward two steps back today. Installed my 11” shocks, need to find a smaller bushing to fit the lower mount but that shouldn’t be too hard. My problem is that with my flat seat pan, I only have about an inch of clearance. I’ll be removing the upholstery and foam, carving a negative in some wood, and “massaging” a big hump into the pan with a torch and hammer.
I also threw on the ‘79 center stand I got and have a couple of issues. The big one being that at rest, it will interfere with my exhaust tips
the second being that while up, there’s nothing to stop it from bouncing upwards and potentially disengaging the spring from its mounting tabs. My simple solution might be to weld on a piece of tube with a rubber cap to act as a stop up against the bottom of the frame. This would fix my exhaust clearance and bouncing problem, but I’d like to see how they worked when installed properly, anyone? Below is a photo with my fingers showing where the tube would go
